+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label ref-doc</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Reference documents</h3>
+<p/>For TeX primitive commands a rather nice
+<a href="http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/texcrib.pdf">quick reference booklet</a>,
+by John W. Shipman, is available; it&rsquo;s arranged in the same way as the
+TeXbook. By contrast, you can view David Bausum&rsquo;s
+<a href="http://www.tug.org/utilities/plain/cseq.html">list of TeX primitives</a>
+alphabetically or arranged by &ldquo;family&rdquo;. Either way, the list has a
+link for each control sequence, that leads you to a detailed
+description, which includes page references to the TeXbook.
+<p/>There doesn&rsquo;t seem to be a reference that takes in Plain TeX as
+well as the primitive commands.
+<p/>Similarly, there&rsquo;s no completely reliable command-organised reference
+to LaTeX, but the NASA
+<a href="http://www.giss.nasa.gov/latex/">Hypertext Help with LaTeX</a> is
+recently much improved. It still talks in LaTeX 2.09-isms in places,
+but it&rsquo;s been updated for current LaTeX; there are a number of
+mirrors of the site, and it may be worth choosing a &ldquo;local&rdquo; one if
+you&rsquo;re going to use it a lot.
